Forecasts

Maykir (13/8), Dramatista (3/1), Flight Command (4/1), False Id (13/2), Grimsthorpe Castle (10/1), Hammer Gun (14/1), Going Native (28/1)

MAYKIR arrives at the top of his game and is taken to defy a penalty and land a C&D hat-trick. Dramatista is one of the least exposed and remains of interest in this grade so rates the main threat.
